The operating system Linux is already installed on the computer. I can however replace it with a specialist to Windows7 (who told me that it was very complicated, Linux and Windows raufzubekommen down). Windows7 is going great, so far had no problems.
Worth mentioning is definitely the gigantic hard disk space of 1 terabyte. The Full HD display is outstanding - good contrast and brightness. I was pleased about the matte screen, ie no reflection. Typing on the keyboard is a pleasure. Since rattles nothing, not a game between the keys, bite and also for large hands, because the buttons are held distances generous. I also like the separate numeric keypad.
The notebook operates nearly noiseless, the fan is barely audible, also remains the unit after prolonged operation pleasantly cool. The weight is of course different from a 15-inch device, but remain with 1200g completely under, I think. For the way I personally would rather prefer a tablet. I work with the notebook frequently on the sofa - find the size here, but not cumbersome or even problematic. The change from my previous 15-inch notebook was easy.
Getting used to, I feel the font size on the desktop; this is very small (one might almost say mini), if you stay at the 1920x1080 resolution. I have been told, with full HD display that is so. The only chance to increase the font size, the resolution to 1600 x 900 is adapted to give then however be without a brilliant resolution.
The sound on a notebook is always a bit tricky - the speakers on this unit are perfectly fine, sound and volume are adequate for my purposes; rather prefer headphones to get a good sound. Whatever the reason, the speakers are installed on the machine down ?!
The battery life is easy in three hours Working with the notebook makes real pleasure because it runs really fast and fluid. Also, the above-mentioned expert found the notebook super - "racehorse" he baptized there. However, there is a limitation for me - I have seen a movie about Amazon Instant Video, in which the connection was interrupted so often - before and even then I did it with my previous laptop also made - without problems and delays. The cause is completely unclear to me. Watching movies falls away for me for this reason.
There are all the connectivity options that you needed, especially 3 USB ports, 2 HDMI outputs and one SD card slot.
Thrilled me the touchpad that responds promptly and very precise controls.
From me there is a strong buy recommendation.
